And how many tax breaks can you take for starting one of those businesses? You seem to be arguing against all these "loopholes."
I guess I should ask you, what is your definition of "middle class"?
Where does all that stuff come from? It is produced to sell to people who are "richer" than them, and then sold off in second hand stores. If there was demand for such products from the rich, then there would be no product for the poor at the second hand store.
They won't create demand for anything unless they can get a job and an income....which doesn't typically come from the lower classes...after all, how many times has a "poor" person given you a job?
I have already commented that I feel, and I think economists would generally agree, that in the long term, all that capital comes back to the United States.
1) The war was not "illegal."
2) The Bush tax cuts cost around $250 billion a year. That is what you think caused all our problems?
3) I don't see how a company in the defense industry making profits caused anything.
Great, so we will raise the debt ceiling by $2.4 trillion, and cut the budget by maybe $300 billion or so a year...leaving us with about a trillion more dollars to find to balance the budget. Where do you suggest that comes from? The "rich"?
If you can provide evidence that higher tax rates were the cause of a good economy then I am all ears.
It is simply not logical to state, "In 1995 we have X tax rates and good economy, therefore tax rates are the cause of the good economy."
